I feel badly about it, but sometimes I just need to ask my wife to stop talking.

Alot of relationships arent really healthy, but mostly tolerable. Or it has been implemented enough times, that we need to suffer in order to be righteously happy.
Just say how you are feeling and what you need her to do so you feel better.
If that is a trigger for her, I dunno how far u want to „think about“ the condition of your life

Instead of cues just say outright you need some quiet time. There are ways to say it in a way that wont hurt her feelings. Hopefully u find a resolution

I heard that!

Silence is golden, sometimes. We should normalize telling people we need it

It's cause your social batteries are drained and you just need peace and quiet. I get it.

Sorry that Mrs. Fukface isn’t picking up what you’re putting down. 😕
